YoungBlood Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I've been watching videos on Youtube from the 21st Century Breakdown tour and love the acoustic encores Billie plays . Like Words I Might Of Ate , 80 , Christie Road and Give Me Novacaine. I would hope for 80 / Oh Love / Stay The Night / Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) I am hoping we get more of this when they tour again . If you could pick an acoustic encore to end the show what would it be ?
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Anything but Oh Love, it's so shit I'd go home thinking the whole show sucked  No wait, anything but Good Riddance, it's so overdone it's painful. Here's an idea how about they do something wild and end the shows with a song off their new album like they did at a lot of shows on the last tour when they didn't play Good Riddance and ended with Brutal Love. I personally don't want ANOTHER greatest hits tour. I'm hoping for great things with this album. I hope it blows our socks off and they play the hell out of it on tour and not a bunch of oldies...again!!
Hermione Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Oh Love worked really well during the Shepherds Bush show, it wasn't at the end but it was great for swaying along to as a breather between the faster songs so it could work well at the end as well, it's a lot better live than on the album. I personally don't think the combo of Brutal Love/Good Riddance can be beaten, Good Riddance is the classic and perfect ending but putting the wonderful Brutal Love before it took it to the next level Only way I could think to improve it would be adding the treat of a rarer song played acoustically between those two, I would pick Redundant or to mix things up Blood Sex and Booze. Of course if they have a good slower song on the new album that would also be good!
Chin for a Day Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The acoustic version of Stay the Night should be the new closer

My first Green Day concert was one of the first shows of the 99 Revolutions tour. I followed the 21st CB tour online since I couldn't attend any of the shows during that era and that was the closest I could get to seeing them live, and while I absolutely adored all the shows I attended in 2013, I was expecting much, much more, in terms of setlist and stage design. I feel like they raised the bar with the 21st CB tour. GD was great, but the setlist for the 99R tour was just boring. I liked that they closed most shows with Brutal Love, but I would've also really liked it if they had played more Trilogy songs besides the singles, just to give the audience something new. Missing You was a nice surprise. 1 hour ago, JJ1964 said: The acoustic version of Stay the Night should be the new closer That would be different, I like it.

If they were locked into doing a few acoustics at the end I'd like them to change it up, do some songs we haven't heard acoustic. Rework songs like Nightlife or Kill the DJ into slower songs. At this moment in time my pick for epic acoustic encore would be : Redundant / Stay the Night / Good Riddance. This of course followed a crazy wild set list spanning their entire career with some nice b-sides thrown in. I won't post the whole show because I KNOW where to do that at, but they make live debuts out of "No One Knows", "Westbound Sign", "Walking Alone" and play the &&&& out of "Platypus I hate you" on this tour because this is 30 Years of Green Day and it has to be done. Other songs that get debuted should include "Poprocks and Coke" (that would be a good encore song) and "On the Wagon" (also good encore materiel).
localinsomniac Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Whatsername, without a doubt. Gives me chills every time.
WhiteTim Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 99 Rev your wasn't a greatest hit tour they've always played 7-8 songs from the new album and rest old they chose to treat the trilogy as one record instead of seperate record otherwise they'd be playing 21-24 trilogy songs and 8-10 oldies
JardyOfSuburbia Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 The first time I saw Green Day (back in 2009) Billie totally blew me away with Macy's Day Parade before Good Riddance and I lost my shit. Macy's Day Parade is my jam and I never expected to hear that song live.
Sarcasm Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Wasn't there a mini-mashup of WWUWSE and Good Riddance on Awesome as Fuck? I know I've heard Good Riddance ended with WWUWSE, but it could be later or earlier than AAF. found it that guitar is sexy, such a crisp sound

Kinda hope they'll play Ha Ha You're Dead at least once in their career

Siddharth_471 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Give Me Novacaine and Poprocks & Coke are my favourite. Macy's Day Parade will be cool too.
Second favourite son Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Personally, I'd love to hear good riddance at the end of the show. I understand how that might be a bit overdone/out of date for some of those who've been to more concerts than me though. Brutal love worked really well at the emirates, especially for me since I was on a date (of sorts), but it created this weird sort of fuzzy calm feeling that I think came over everyone. I'd want a song that does that. Macy's Day Parade is an underrated acoustic song. Hopefully there's a great acoustic encore song on the next album so we all get to hear something new and amazing.

I've seen them finish with Good Riddance three times and still want it! And I missed it at the show where they didn't do it. It's more than just seeing them play a song, it's a great tradition at the end of the show that it always going to be enjoyable to be a part of, with everyone singing along and knowing it's time to say goodbye . They can add extra songs before it but I hope they keep it as a staple finisher. I don't think these cool show traditions that they've cultivated over the years are appreciated enough, honestly, it creates a better connection between the band and fans when there's parts of the show you're looking forward to and know what to do to take part in. They're like special things that you and the band are both in on, as well as just being very entertaining. All I ever see is people wishing that staple songs would go but I think it's important to keep plenty of them, a really amazing show has slowly evolved over the years based around them and a random setlist of songs without any traditions attached to them wouldn't compare.

Yeah It's a great tradition to always finish with Good Riddance . I also like the twists Billie sometimes does with it like playing electric and with the Wake Me Up When September Ends spin at the end sometimes .
Lacky Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Whatsername, Christie Road, 80, Good Riddance. And I could book my coffin.
